| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is. |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

We are closer to the dream than ever. I do believe Dr. King would be proud.

We are closer to the dream, but it's a damn shame that it took forty years for us to even get close.

We're getting there. Took 40 years for the children to come out of the wilderness. Maybe this is ours.

This speech, paired with Obama's speech, is something every person in this country should be required to listen to once a week. Maybe then racism can actually be whittled away instead of lurking beneath the surface of everything we do.
-
I like Jewells' forty years in the wilderness analogy. Perhaps the Promised Land is in sight after many, many years of wandering.
-
The time is now. This will be the year for change.
Obama '08!!!
-
God bless Dr. King. His memory lives on.
-
The fight for freedom is now this country's biggest struggle. BushCo has been trying to take all our freedoms for the last 8 years. We need a Dr. King now more than ever which is why Obama is such a breath of fresh air.
